Open Quote I do not recommend this school based on my experience. The Music teacher behaved unprofessionally, even going so far as to shout at parents, which was both inappropriate and upsetting. The principal's leadership style also left much to be desired, as it came across as overly strict and authoritarian. She appeared more focused on exercising control than on addressing the well-being of the students. I witnessed instances of students being unfairly punished without cause, showing little regard for their feelings or those of their parents. Overall, the school seemed more concerned with maintaining authority than cultivating a supportive and nurturing learning environment. Close Quote
